Where does gladness come from? Not a mere happiness, but to be glad in your soul? The Psalmist knew.
Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. (Psalm 86:4-5)
If we lift up our soul to God, He (and He alone) will make our soul glad. This happens through prayer and dependency and focus on HIM, not on ourselves. Turning to Him. Looking to Him today. If we do, He will restore gladness to our soul.
But, why does He do this? We are His creation and His children. And, He is ...
It is His undeniable nature that must display this towards those who will humbly, prayerfully look to Him. This is available to “all who call” upon Him. What could make us more glad and grateful than knowing the manifestations of His goodness, forgiveness, and lovingkindness toward us today?
Do you want to be GLAD today? Then look to Jesus! He will make you glad in your soul.
